The Demyx Continuum: Water Extinguish Fire (Book 4 of 5?)

Chapter 7: Zexion's Possession

Demyx went off to find Zexion. He went to Zexion's room first and knocked on the door. He was shocked when he saw Zexion answer the door.

"Zexion, could I come in?" Demyx asked.

Zexion moved aside without saying anything.

"Thanks."

He nodded as he closed the door then he went over to his bed and sat down.

"What happened last night? Did you two get into another fight?"

"No..." Zexion lay down on the bed. "We were only talking...he said that he needs time to evaluate himself...again."

"Again? How many times had he said that to you?"

"Once...and that was way back when you were engaged to Axel."

"That long ago huh?"

"Yeah."

"I had thought that you two had an argument or something...I saw you at breakfast this morning. Do you know why he went off?"

"He went off to evaluate himself to see if he really is ready to take us to the next level...but...he did tell me something last night."

"What he say?"

"He said that I wasn't all that interested in him anymore...however, before he said that he said that he was ready to move forward in our relationship."

"Well...it looks like to me that he was lying about what he said to you. We all see it clearly that you still want him as bad as you did when he first joined."

Zexion smiled at this. "That's because I do...but he doesn't think so...he probably thinks that I like someone else."

"Like who?"

"No idea...it has to be that or that he's not fully over you like he said he was."

"Zexion, I think he is over me; it's been how many years since he and I went out? He hasn't even come to me seeking a conversation or a fight about it...not once...since you came back. I think it's pretty clear that he is over me."

"What else could be holding him back?"

"He's probably still trying to think of you as more than a best friend."

Zexion remained silent as he thought over something. "You know...we haven't been on a date...do you think that is the reason? The only places we go together are if we have team missions."

"That probably is the reason for his stalling...but we can't be sure until he comes back."

Zexion looked away from Demyx. "It won't be until a few days...he's out on a mission right now as he's evaluating himself."

Demyx's face went from helpful to horror when he heard Zexion say this. "How long as he been out?"

"Since this morning...why?" Zexion asked as he looked back at Demyx.

"Well...if it takes longer than that then we might have to go and find him...he's doing exactly what I was doing when I received this." Demyx pointed to the side of his neck that had a wound he received while he and Marluxia were going out.

Zexion shivered as he remembered what that was about and looked away again. "Then let's hope he doesn't get that far into his thinking to not realize what he is doing."

"Yes, let's hope he doesn't...I got to get back to Axel, he must be wondering where I am by now." Demyx said as he got up to leave.

Zexion got up and went over to the door with him. "Thanks for the talk, Dem, it helped."
